    Hi,

    I have a vaio tz18gn which comes with a 32gb ssd.

    Needless to say, I am running out of space.

    Is it possible to upgrade, ie to remove the current 32gb ssd and replace it with something of a higher capacity?

    If yes, where could I get some info, instruction?

    I went through the thread on installing an ssd into a tz briefly, however most info, on which types of ssds to use are rather old. There are a couple new models in the market, are they all compatible?

    Thanks!

    thanks for the reply :)

    just wondering, will the new 128gb ssd work as well? or even the 80gb intel versions?

    You could, if you have the bay drive which fits any ordinary 2.5 SATA SSD.
    The one inside is however a small 1.8 inch zif IDE ssd.
